AUTHOR | ARTIST | ADVOCATE
Rue Sparks is a composite of neurosis and nonsense held together by duct tape and sheer stubbornness. A widow, disabled, and queer, they traverse the equally harsh and cathartic landscape where trauma and healing align to create stories that burrow into the hearts and minds of their readers. They live in a rural Michigan town surrounded by forest on all sides so that they can opt out of humanity at will.
